摘要

The first asymmetric synthesis of (R,R)-clemastine (1) has been accomplished by the coupling of (R)-tertiary alcohol 2 and (R)-chloroethylpyrrolidine 3 via O-alkylation. (R)-Tertiary alcohol 2 was synthesized by stereoselective alkylation of chiral alpha-benzyloxy ketone with Grignard reagent via chelation-controlled 1,4-asymmetric induction. In the reaction, chiral benzyl group acts as a chiral auxiliary as well as a protecting group. (R)-Chloroethylpyrrolidine 3 was prepared by asymmetric transformation starting with l-homoserine lactone, in which racemization-minimized N-allylation and ring-closing metathesis were involved as key steps.
